# Starting a run

Choose the tested agent, crew, workflow, or task, enter validated input, confirm model and destination, start once, and open the created run record.

![Starting a run in Foxora v5.0.3](/docs/images/v5.0.3/operations/runs-panel.webp)

## Where this lives

Open a task and choose **Runs** in its header.

A run is one execution record for an agent, crew, scheduled task, workflow, bot, or channel-triggered job. It contains status, timing, step activity, logs, usage, and outputs.

> **Safety:** Retrying can repeat external actions. Inspect the last confirmed successful step and use idempotency or a corrected input before running again.

## Steps

1. Open a task and choose **Runs** in its header.
2. Choose the tested agent, crew, workflow, or task.
3. Enter validated input.
4. Confirm model and destination.
5. Start once.
6. Open the created run record.
7. **Confirm the result.** Check terminal status, output identifiers, logs, usage, and the actual destination rather than relying on a green badge alone.

## Choose the right path

- Start a new run for a new input.
- Retry only a failed or safely repeatable execution.
- Cancel when continuing could waste credits or create an unwanted side effect.


## Confirm it worked

- Check terminal status, output identifiers, logs, usage, and the actual destination rather than relying on a green badge alone.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
